10 Harry Potter Easter Eggs You Might Not
Have Noticed

Rowling is one of the most successful authors
of all time, creating the Harry Potter series,

which has now retroactively been re-titled
‘The Wizarding World of J.K.

Rowling’ in an attempt to cash on that Marvel
Cinematic Universe cash.

The first in a series of prequel movies, Fantastic
Beasts and Where To Find them has just been

released and tells of the journey of Newt
Scamander, and the adventures that led to

him writing the text book that Hogwarts uses.

A textbook that you can buy in your local
bookshop.

With it came numerous easter eggs and call
backs to the Harry Potter books and movies,

so we’ve decided to talk about those easter
eggs and fun bits of trivia from not just

the newest film, but the books and movies
that came before it.

Here are 10 10 Harry Potter Easter Eggs You
Might Not Have Noticed

Naughty Couple
Alfonso Cauron’s Prisoner of Azkaban is

wildly different from the rest of the franchise.

It was a huge shift in tone from the two previous
movies which were still relatively light hearted

kids affairs, and was the first of the movies
to go for the boring grey colour grading the

rest of the main series would use from that
point on.

Despite being a hugely important item in the
books, the Marauder’s Map had it’s only

The map is a magical item that maps out Hogwarts,
all it’s teachers, students and even the

It see’s you all the time, whether you want
it to or not.

Like in the credits when it catches some students
doing something they probably shouldn’t

Werewolf Names
Sticking with Prisoner of Azkaban for a moment,

Rowling makes references to Roman and Norse
Mythology with the names of her franchises

Remus Lupin, the defence against the dark
arts teacher, and Harry’s favourite teacher,

was named after Remus from the story of Remus
and Romulus.

Two brothers raised by a wolf, one of whom
according to mythology founded Rome, the other

The franchise’s other werewolf, Fenrir Greyback,
is named after Fenrir, or Fenris Ulf, the

giant wolf from Norse Mythology, one of the
three children of Loki.

Fenrir is foretold to kill the King of the
God’s Odin when Ragnarok finally comes.

Norse mythology is the root of a great deal
of fantasy work and includes not only Harry

Dumbledore’s Sister
Much of the plot of Fantastic Beasts revolves

An Obscurus is a child who is forced to suppress
their magical power, which drives them insane

What fans soon worked out very quickly after
seeing Fantastic Beasts, was that the movie

had effectively explained what happened to
Dumbledore’s sister Ariana without ever

Ariana matches the description of an obscurus
perfectly.

We know that she suppressed her magic powers
and we know that she was driven mad by it.

With these movies serving to flesh out the
background of the Harry Potter world, we can

only imagine that it won’t be long until
it’s explored in full detail.

So who’s looking forward to the three hour
duel between Dumbledore and Grindelwald over

Leta LeStrange
One of the little details included as sequel

bait in Fantastic Beasts was the mention of
Leta LeStrange.

While at this stage we know very little about
her, we know that she was involved with Newt

Scamander for a number of years, was described
as ‘a taker’, and we know that she is

somehow related to Voldemort’s second in
command, Bellatrix Lestrange.

Right now she’s pretty much wrapped in mystery,
as she does not appear in the books nor is

What we do know is that she has been confirmed
to appear in the sequels, once again played

by Zoe Kravitz and she is most likely going
to be an antagonist.

After all, she does come from a lineage of
dark wizards.

Battle of Hogwarts Date
Here’s one from the books.

While being very disappointing in the film,
the books battle of Hogwarts was truly epic.

Giants, giant spider’s and Buckbeack leading
an army of thestrals, not to mention the house

elves fighting, this was truly the best climactic
battle to never be properly realised on screen.

What you might not know however, is that the
Harry Potter books do not actually take place

The first book was released in 1997, and in
1998 in America, but was set in 1991.

The reason for this isn’t completely clear,
but it’s pretty interesting when you consider

that the final battle in the final book takes
place in the same year that Harry Potter and

the Philosopher’s Stone was rebranded and
published in America.

Deathly Hallows Symbol Surprise Appearance
One thing that sets the Harry Potter films

apart from the majority of other movie adaptations,
is J.K.

Rowling having heavy involvement in the development
of the movies.

Including only giving permission and never
giving the rights to the movies, Rowling was

able to have a huge influence on the movies.

In fact, she even made sure that certain symbols,
such as the deathly hallows symbol appeared

in the Goblet of Fire movie, despite the hallows
not even being known until the final book.

While two of Hallows themselves, Harry’s
invisibility cloak, Dumbledore’s wand had

already appeared, the movies were setting
up the Deathly Hallows before the books even

Its details like this that makes us wish that
there were more authors being heavily involved

While authors like Gillian Flynn and Susanne
Collins wrote the screenplays for the adaptations

of their movies Gone Girl and The Hunger Games
respectively, it’s still a rarity and we’d

Rowling, not unlike Halo developer, Bungie
has a real love the number 7.

It’s considered a lucky or magic number
in many cultures and the number 7 can be seen

In universe the number 7 actually has magical
properties that make magic more powerful,

which is why Voldemort chose to make seven
horcruxes.

Not only that but there are 7 years of School
at Hogwarts, 7 players on a Quidditch team

and in the movies Harry’s player number
is 7.

When Harry Potter and his allies all drank
polyjuice potion to look like Harry it resulted

in 7 Harry Potter’s flying around on 7 broomsticks.

Not only that but when kidnapped by Barty
Crouch Jr., Alistair Moody was kept in a magic
